'Green Lantern' Takes On 'Captain America'
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Summer blockbuster season is hitting stride as comic geeks and cinephiles alike ponder the schoolyard question: "Who would win in a fight: Green Lantern or Captain America?"
That matchup isn't just about two of the great World War II-era comic book franchises, but the battle between Marvel Comics (MVL) and D.C. Comics and all that entails. It's Warner Brothers (TWX) versus Viacom (VIA.B) and Disney (DIS - Get Report) for box-office bragging rights. It's Subway versus Burger King (BKC) for the fast-food tie-ins. It's Mattel (MAT) versus Hasbro (HAS) in the action-figure arena. It's Dr. Pepper Snapple (DPS) versus Pepsi (PEP), and it's all for the benefit of big-budget superhero film buffs.
"The greatest part about all of this is that you have these amazing entertainment companies spending all this money and producing films for a lot of people who have loved these characters for a very long time," says Gareb Shamus, chairman and chief executive of Wizard World (WIZD.PK), which runs a comic book and pop culture site and a series of comic conventions across the U.S. "They've really put their marketing muscle behind it and have exposed to the world what we've been fans of for decades now."
With the the exception of Screen Gems' Korean manga-based film Priest and its subpar $73 million showing last month, Marvel has sucked up most of the box office superpower in this early summer movie season. The Marvel Studios/Paramount release of Thor collected more than $430 million at the box office since its release in May, while Marvel's collaboration with 20th Century Fox (NWSA) on X-Men: First Class raked in another $221 million -- somewhat surprising for a prequel to the X-Men series that ended in 2006.
Meanwhile, Thor brought sponsors including Acura (HMC - Get Report), Hasbro, Visa (V - Get Report), 7-Eleven, Burger King, Sega and Dr. Pepper Snapple along for the ride, selling millions of dollars in toys, video games and branded food items along the way. After spending much of the past two summers on the sideline -- not counting last summer's disastrous Jonah Hex -- D.C. and Warner Brothers are back in the mix with Green Lantern, which opens Friday. While Ryan Reynolds' man in green and black isn't exactly a household name like Spider-Man or Batman, Shamus says it's tough to count out a character just because not as many people have read the comic.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Better than Rational: Evolutionary Psychology and the Invisible Hand
Several years ago, we attended an interdisciplinary seminar on whatwere purported to be "biases" in negotiation behavior. The economists, psychologists, and biologists present were mulling over the data when, suddenly, a prominent economist lit up. "Ah, I see,'" hesaid, "behavior is either rational or it's psychological." This formulation stuck in our minds, because it seemed to succinctly give voice to a tacit assumption held by many economists -one that we... [continua]

BSG Bikes' Timeless WOOD.b Bikes Are Stylish, Safe and Durable
Posted By Mark Boyer On June 20, 2013 @ 1:00 pm In Bicycles,Green Transportation | No Comments
BSG Bikes pairs beech plywood frames with steel parts to give their WOOD.b bikes [6] a classic, architectural quality. The bikes are designed to use standard bike parts like steel Columbus [7] forks and bases. That means that despite the unique frame, WOOD.b owners can take their bikes to any bike shop to have them serviced. This also enables owners to customize the mechanical elements to their own liking.
So far, BSG has developed four different WOOD.b bike frames — Duomatic [8], Inter 7 [9], Alfine 11 [10], and Dualdrive [11] — and the company has filed an international patent for the WOOD.b design. Owners are invited to personalize their bikes by choosing the tint of wood and the color of the stainless steel elements.

Overnighting in Izmir
Trip Start
Apr 09, 2006
Trip End
Jun 09, 2007
Izmir is Turkey's 3rd largest city (population about 3 million) but there's not much for a traveler. I'll probably head to the bazaar & waterfront, but not much else.
I ended up enjoying my evening in Izmir. It is a sprawling city on a bay surrounded by mountains. As intended, I really only hung around the waterfront and cruised the bazaar but still met some interesting people.
There's a park along the waterfront lined with pubs and cafes where a lot of people hang out including teens. Couples who are dating with really no place to go sit on the grass almost hidden among the shrubs and talk and smooch. It was cute.
I popped in to one pub just before a big football (soccer) match and had quite the time. The Turks are fanatics! For some reason I thought of Tommy (Cynda's beau). He's Danish...maybe he's a fanatical freak too?
So, all this enjoyment has included beverages and I'm afraid to calculate what my daily budget has been! C'est la vie. I'm off for the 85km ride to Sel�uk.
As usual, pics will follow...internet is free here but no USB.
Over and OUT.

This makes a good, creamy salad dressing with a real kick. Without the peppers, this makes a great base for any very low calorie salad dressing. You will not be disapointed if you use real Greek Yogurt; there is no substitute. The amount of Chipotle pepper I add to this gives it a very substantial kick. I like it this way, you may want to experiment with less at first. I use the same base for a creamy caesar dressing for my wife, leaving out the chipotle pepper and adding more garlic and 2 tsp of Worcester sauce. It's great fresh, but even better after it sits in the fridge a day or so letting the flavors meld. Submitted by BILLH147 Carbs: 2.6g | Fat: 0g | Fiber: 1.1g | Protein: 3.1g | Calories: 29.9

So I ran out of PS and I love the decorator version of Cream Cheese frosting.

Old Homestead Orchard
Wonderful place!! Best Apples
By: Teria Hoffmann (Oct 27, 2011)
I accidentally found this family owned orchard. After going there 1 time, I continued to go every week for 2 months to get apples. I didn't know how different apples taste from an orchard than a store. This orchard has so many other things as well. We even ordered our Thanksgiving turkey from them. I will be going there next year as well.

"If the rates are attractive enough for a high-yield company like Masisa, we would go for the international bond. We think the appetite for high-yield is there," CFO Juan Carlos Toro tells LatinFinance....

When my truck first starts it runs perfectly fine for about 2 or 3 minutes. Then as soon as it begins to warm up it starts having major trouble running.
To drive it after its started to warm up I have to rev it super high just to take off from a stop light. I pray that it will make it back home every time I try to take it to the grocery store 2 blocks away.
Once it's warmed up it just starts choking and dieing like it's not getting any air or fuel to the engine. It almost feels like someone is jamming the clutch in and out real fast when I'm trying to drive, the whole truck will shake and jump and I have to rev it super high just to keep it running long enough to get it into my driveway.
Then I have to wait about 2 hours or so for it to cool down again so I can drive it 2 or 3 blocks.
Luckily most of the places I go are very close. (work, store, etc..) but I'm planning on moving soon and NEED to get this fixed.
I've taken it to the mechanic 3 times already. The first time they said it needed the Throttle body cleaned. So they cleaned it and it kinda ran ok for about two days. Then it was right back to the same thing.
I took it in again and they said I needed a tune up and new plugs, wires and dist. cap. That didn't do anything either.
I don't know what to do now. I can't afford to keep taking it in and having them charge me to NOT fix the problem.

The Montana State Billings baseball team will close out the 2014 regular season with six games against Northwest Nazarene.
Starting Thursday, the Yellowjackets will play three consecutive doubleheaders against the Crusaders at Dehler Park. The games Thursday, Friday and Saturday will all begin at 1 p.m.
Prior to Friday's games, MSUB will honor its four seniors: Joe Andriolo, Matt Eames, Drew Fosnes and Brad Birch.
The Yellowjackets still have a mathematical chance at qualifying for the three-team Great Northwest Athletic Conference tournament.
Thursday's games are a continuation of games that were scheduled earlier in the year in Nampa, Idaho. The first game will begin with MSUB leading 9-8 in the top of the seventh inning.

Yoel Ben-Zur accepted me for work in the cowshed. The approval event was short, personal and trenchant. You should have seen him: leaning back on his chair, two of its feet in the air, and a pair of heavy work shoes resting on the log − also known as the coffee table − outside the milking facility. Hands crossed behind his neck, he gave me a cursory scan, squeezed his bristling mustache and said,...

Unleash the Forces of Heaven and Hell with 7 Creepy Biblical Horror Flicks
Movie News By J.L. Sosa on March 4, 2013 | Comments (3)FACT: For millions, the Bible is a wellspring of hope and inspiration for daily living. FACT: For decades, horror filmmakers have also turned to the Bible and Biblical lore for inspiration. Why? For starters, there's some gruesome imagery there. Let's not even start on the eye-for-an-eye, tooth-for-a-tooth gore of the Old Testament. In the kinder, gentler New Testament there's death by stoning, death by beheading and (SPOILER ALERT) death by crucifixion. So, if seeing The Last Exorcism 2 this weekend left you wanting something more (and I'm told by a reliable source that it might have), here are seven great ways to scratch your religious horror itch. Just don't scratch too hard. Unless, of course, you're a practicing flagellant.

Works examining the history of torture are John H. Langbein, Torture and the Law of Proof: Europe and England in the Ancien Régime (1977, reissued 2006); Malise Ruthven, Torture: The Grand Conspiracy (1978); and Edward Peters, Torture, expanded ed. (1996). Groundbreaking reports on 20th-century uses of torture are described in Amnesty International, Report on Torture, 2nd ed. (1975), and Torture in the Eighties (1984).
Discussions of international laws banning torture include J. Herman Burgers and Hans Danelius, The United Nations Convention Against Torture: A Handbook on the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (1988); Nigel S. Rodley, The Treatment of Prisoners Under International Law, 2nd ed. (1999); and Malcolm D. Evans and Rod Morgan, Preventing Torture: A Study of the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (1998). Torture as a defense against terrorism is discussed in Karen J. Greenberg and Joshua L. Dratel (eds.), The Torture Papers: The Road to Abu Ghraib (2005); while a conceptual examination of the absolute prohibition of torture is found in Sanford Levinson (ed.), Torture: A Collection (2004).

In The Kingman Museum's newly opened mezzanine exhibit, a polar bear, frozen mid-snarl, presides over his fellow Ice Age beasts. Surrounding this tableau are glass cases filled with fanged skulls of extinct predators, prehistoric pottery, and miniature replicas of ecosystems. The eclectic exhibits lend the room the aura of a cabinet of curiosities, and are indicative of The Kingman Museum's expansive mission to "provide lifelong learning opportunities in natural history, the universe, and world cultures for all ages for all time." The scope of the museum reflects the swashbuckling spirit of its founder, Edward Morris Brigham. In the late 1800s, the explorer embarked on expeditions down the Amazon River, hiked across the Alaska tundra, and hopscotched across Hawaiian Islands. He toted back with him exotic specimens, fossils, and cultural artifacts, which now form the core of the museum's collection. Over the years, the museum has expanded to include a planetarium, which screens nearly two dozen educational films that range from deep-space exploration to quests for the long-lost city of Pittsburgh. Additionally, museum curators inspire young minds with a slew of educational programs.
Founded five years ago, the Battle Creek Bombers have already shown their mettle, earning the title of 2011 Northwoods League Champions in 2011. The Northwoods League, one of the nation's most competitive collegiate summer leagues, offers its top-caliber players minor league internships without jeopardizing their college careers. This season, the Bombers hope to conquer their league again and send more of its players to the MLB, having already done so for alumnus Tony Sanchez, who was the fourth pick in the 2009 draft. Led by Daniel Rockett, their top 2011 scorer with 46 runs and 43 RBIs, the team will surely spend this season launching home runs without the help of covert trebuchets.
While the players focus on the game, their mosquito mascot, Mo-Skeeter, mingles with roaring crowds in the Bomber's home venue, C.O. Brown Stadium. Patrons can look on from general seating or opt for the more luxurious HBC fan-deck seats, where panoramic views complement an included all-you-can-eat feast with draft beer and hot dogs.
When Eagles Nest owner Sarah Sowles says her restaurant is filled with smiling faces, she means it—the grins of well-fed customers brighten the first page of her lunch-and-breakfast menu. She aims to keep her morning patrons happy with favorites such as wet breakfast burritos that glisten beneath a ladleful of sausage gravy and custom three-egg omelets that can be filled with corned beef or veggies. And since her café serves breakfast all day, guests can stop in anytime for a stack of blueberry pancakes or some biscuits and gravy. Diners have plenty of options for lunch, too. They can customize burgers, capping prime-steak patties with a choice of three toppings before having their name branded into the bun. Also on the menu are wraps that envelop buffalo chicken and ranch dressing and baja citrus chicken salads that layer pecans and cranberries beneath a raspberry vinaigrette.
The staff members at Sylvan Learning Center's numerous study facilities understand that each child learns differently. Therefore, they don?t try to implement a uniform tutoring system; instead, they design custom lesson programs based on the results of standardized testing, diagnostic tools, and one-on-one interviews.
Tutors work with students from kindergarten through grade 12, illuminating topics ranging from basic reading and writing to remembering complex algebraic formulas without having them tattooed on your chest. Many of Sylvan?s instructors work in local schools, so they are intimately familiar with common curricula and understand how to gear lessons toward optimal results. After-school and summer classes can ready high-schoolers for the rigors of the ACT or the SAT, or they can help students to wow college-admissions officers with their superior essay-writing skills.
From a single shop in Sturgis, Michigan, Auto-Lab has grown into a full-service franchise that cares for cars' every nook and cranny. Each location's ASE-certified technicians keep autos flourishing with regular maintenance checkups, helping identify and stave off problems before they spread. These experts peer into the dark abyss under the hood, employing high-tech diagnostic tools to identify and repair computerized engine issues, and keep tabs on brakes before they seize up and stop you just as you're about to break the sound barrier. In addition, they guarantee all services for 12 months or up to 12,000 miles.
Richard J. Sass first felt the weight of a scuba tank about his shoulders at 15, when a friend's father strapped him into a suit and threw him into the world's deep end, as it were. Rick fell in love with diving before ever surfacing on that first adventure, and he started Sub-Aquatic Sports & Service – or SASS for short – to share his passion with others. He and his staff teach a full range of scuba classes, from beginner certifications to becoming a dive instructor. They lead trips into waters across the world, from Australia to Micronesia, from the Great Lakes to the Galapagos Islands.

The Free Realms team has been crazy busy at work lately creating all manner of new things that players have been clamoring for. With the recent addition of dragon and dinosaur mounts came the call for horses for players to ride. As such, they introduced new horse mounts, but then added even more fun in the form of pegasus rides as well!
The horses are available for members to pick up at 450 Station Cash each. The White-Nosed Mares are colored in fantasy-like style -- pink, purple, blue, pure white and more -- while the Stallion model features more traditional horse colors like gray, black, tan, and chestnut. Pegasus rides, on the other hand, are available at 550 Station Cash, and come in lilac, blue-black, gray, pink, sea-foam green, and white.
Along with the new horse and pegasus rides, there are also wee teeny pony pets named Vivi, Jaina, and Rocco, who are available to members and non-members for 300 Station cash. There's a new owl pet named Archimedes as well, for those who want their very own wisecracking owl sidekick.
As if that weren't enough, the team has also added in lots of new furniture to check out, and have been throwing parties for players to come to. All in all, a very hopping time in Free Realms of late -- which we suspect may be a boon to parents who could use some extra spring cleaning hands in exchange for a little bonus chore money!

The animation and art team continues to outdue some of their previous work, their new mounts look great, and will be very popular. I know one of the lead artists Floyd Bishop was recently featured on MMORPG.com. Free Realms has some of the best art and animations in any game, I only wish they would hurry and open some new parts of the map to give players something new to explore.
I'd love to see these guys work on the inevitable Everquest 3 someday. While Free Realms is definitely not a game for everyone, the game engine and art design is top notch even for a game aimed at children.

Typical $OE. It is hard to not notice that while more and more cash shop items are constantly being churned out that there is little in the way of new content that isn't part of a cash shop money grab, despite the fact that Free Realm players have already been roped into paying a subscription fee.

Ten of the nation's biggest banks are set to pay back government bailout money. The banks received the funds under President Bush's TARP plan, a program to help restart lending in the ailing economy. Some said the money would never be repaid. Now $68 billion is being repaid with about $2 billion in interest. President Obama calls the repayment a good deal for taxpayers.
"It is worth noting that in the first round of repayments from these companies, the government has actually turned a profit," he said.
Meanwhile, the Obama administration plans to announce some new regulations. They will restrict bonuses for company executives that received money under the program.

The CTA remains adamant that its continuous-rider policy is not aimed at homeless people. But the hypocrisy behind the agency's policy is brutally evident.

Anyone who wants the 2016 Olympics to be held in the United States should consider how the outcome of the 2008 presidential election will affect the choice of the host city.
In a quixotic quest for justice, a civil rights group is out to expose America's third-largest city as, according to an attorney, "the torture capital of the world."
Like everyone else in Chicago watching the Beijing Olympic Games, I'm wondering how Chicago can pull off something like this in 2016. And I'm also wo...
Proudly multi-racial, ruthlessly pragmatic, open to hustling newcomers and somewhat audacious, Chicago's unique culture is ascendant.
The viewers do not want to pay attention to whose 10 point program is best, they are watching the Olympic games. They cannot sort out the truth from the fiction and it all comes across at best as pablum.
Their failure to understand the national zeitgeist during the Olympics and their inability to inspire rather than pander and proselytize does not bode well for the next several months of political advertising.
What was Mayor Daley thinking as he sat in the stands in Beijing and watched those dazzling, nationalistic, very expensive, opening ceremonies? I wish NBC had shown a shot of "Mayor Beautify". His jaw must have dropped at the display, mouth wide open enough for a Chinese acrobat to fly inside. How the heck can Chicago compete with that?
The only way to clearly denounce the corrupt behavior of the Chinese government is to withdraw corporate sponsorship from the Olympics.

Groundbreaking may bring jobs
BEAUMONT- BY: Jennifer Gordy
A groundbreaking later this week may mean thousands of jobs for our area. Natgasoline, LLC. will also put Beaumont on the map as number one in the nation for production.
If you've heard of methanol it's probably because of Indy race cars. It's the fuel that makes them go. Jeff Branick, Jefferson County Judge says, "It's going to be a big boost to the economy, which is something I'm always interested in"
And when a company called Natgasoline breaks ground at its Beaumont site, it plans to build the largest methanol production facility in the U. S.
"We're hopeful that the permitting process will be completed this year and that they'll be able to begin construction in September of this year." Branick states.
Where will all that methanol go? There's a growing market for methanol as a direct fuel, but most methanol is used as a feed stock that helps make many other products like plastic and paint. Natgasoline will take in natural gas and turn it into methanol. Southeast Texas could see a drop in its unemployment numbers, as Natgasoline is expected to bring 3000 temporary construction jobs and 240 permanent jobs to the area and that's good news for people looking for work.
Owusu Hanchett is unemployed and says, "It's been rough. I've been looking for work for two and a half years and I still haven't gotten a job."
Brandon McDonald is looking for work and says, "Anything right now to bring anything home."
Pat Avery with the consulting firm for Natgasoline says the plant will be built from the ground up.
"It's really exciting to see the are come alive with all the work that's going to be here. Billions and billions of dollars are being spent between Baytown and Lake Charles and it's great for the state of Texas," say Avery. It's one more sign that the petrochemical industry remains the backbone of the Southeast Texas economy. The plant is expected to be in production by the end of 2016.

From Denver to Golden
Driving by car to Golden is the easiest way to get here, and this is the way I arrived. From Downtown Denver it is a short 20 to 25 minute drive and between 15 and 20 miles to get to the Golden Downtown area.
If you going to Golden from Downtown Denver get onto Interstate 25 Northbound and then after a few miles take the exit for Interstate 70 Westbound - the sign will not say anything about Golden but probably something like "Grand Junction," which is a lot further away than where you are going.
The route I take as I live in South Denver or if you are coming from anywhere South of Denver is to take the 6th Ave Westbound exit which is actually a 6 lane freeway through Lakewood and on to Golden.- Road Trip
Bus system
RTD-Denver has great bus service in and around Golden. If you ever get really lost, look for a 16, 17, or 125 bus and that will eventually bring you back to downtown Golden. 16 goes up and down Colfax, and is a great way to get to downtown Denver or the Mall. Golden really isn't that big, so unless you're going outside of the town you don't need RTD.

Jordan Harmon: Exercising free speech
Friday, May 20, 2011
To the editor:
My name is Jordan Harmon. I am 14 years old.
I am the eighth-grader at Craig Middle School who asked my dad to contact the ACLU.
I am not ashamed by it, either, because I was told I could not wear the "I heart boobies" bracelets that I bought with my own money for several people I love who I have either lost or is fighting cancer, still.
A lot of people do not know, but I suffer from a disease they found out I had when I was 9 years old.
And although mine is not cancer, I know what it feels like to fight a battle you don't know if you're going win or lose, and seeing what it puts your families and friends through emotionally and financially.
And, if I can support and show people they are not alone and are loved, I will do it.
I am not doing this because I hate Mrs. Hafey. I do like Mrs. Hafey.
She is a very nice person and does a lot for a lot of people, including myself. We just have different views on things, but there are some things we do not agree on.
But, this is something I believe in, and my parents have taught me to stand up for what I believe in.
I was not doing anything wrong the day I was asked to remove my bracelets by another teacher.
I was getting medication for a headache that comes with the disease I have.
I have never told anybody about my disease until now, but I want people to know I do support people with incurable diseases.
I have lost a few family members due to cancer and I have educated myself before wearing these and even buying these bracelets because I was not sure what they meant at first.
At first, I thought they meant perverted things as well, but in educating myself, I wear them proudly for the friends and family I have fighting or who have lost this battle.
Thank you and hope you all understand this is not a revenge thing. It's a young person standing up for what they believe and using the rights I was given.
Our parents, grandparents and teachers teach us we have the right to stand up for what we believe, but when we do we are shot down and told we can't.
Jordan Harmon, age 14

There are appropriate ways to convey your support without violating a school dress code. But that is where parenting comes into play i guess.

You keep that fight up girl!!!!! I am right there with you. I have M.S. I have had this disease since I was a baby. I understand the struggles and the pain and the emotion not only I go through but the people around me go through as well. You have every right to stand up for what you believe in! keep standing!!! keep fighting!!! and never lose hope!!!! there are always going to be people out there that have something negative, rude or out of line to say.............kill them with kindness! shrug them off!.......dont give in or give up because of those people I am proud to see someone of your age in our community coming out to the public like this and standing up for what she believes in!!!!! good luck girl!!!

White Privilege
During my undergrad education, I came across "White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Backpack" by Peggy McIntosh. She points out that white people are taught to see racism as "individual acts of meanness, not in individual systems conferring dominance on my group." People fail to recognize that our society is built upon white dominance, which has given white people unearned privileges. I decided to share this because it is impossible to talk about racism, unless one understands their unearned privileges. I've added a quote from her writing that identifies 26 of her daily effects of white privilege and where white dominance is clear.1. I can if I wish arrange to be in the company of people of my race most of the time.
2. If I should need to move, I can be pretty sure of renting or purchasing housing in an area which I can afford and in which I would want to live.
3. I can be pretty sure that my neighbors in such a location will be neutral or pleasant to me.
4. I can go shopping alone most of the time, pretty well assured that I will not be followed or harassed.
5. I can turn on the television or open to the front page of the paper and see people of my race widely represented.
6. When I am told about our national heritage or about "civilization," I am shown that people of my color made it what it is.
7. I can be sure that my children will be given curricular materials that testify to the existence of their race.
8. If I want to, I can be pretty sure of finding a publisher for this piece on white privilege.
9. I can go into a music shop and count on finding the music of my race represented, into a supermarket and find the staple foods which fit with my cultural traditions, into a hairdresser's shop and find someone who can cut my hair.
10. Whether I checks, credit cards, or cash, I can count on my skin color not to work against the appearance of financial reliability.
11. I can arrange to protect my children most of the time from people who might not like them.
12. I can swear, or dress in second hand clothes, or not answer letters, without having people attribute these choices to the bad morals, the poverty, or the illiteracy of my race.
13. I can speak in public to a powerful male group without putting my race on trial.
14. I can do well in a challenging situation without being called a credit to my race.
15. I am never asked to speak for all the people of my racial group.
16. I can remain oblivious of the language and customs of persons of color who constitute the world's majority without feeling in my culture any penalty for such oblivion.
17. I can criticize our government and talk about how much I fear its policies and behavior without being seen as a cultural outsider.
18. I can be pretty sure that if I ask to talk to "the person in charge," I will be facing a person of my race.
19. If a traffic cop pulls me over or if the IRS audits my tax return, I can be sure I haven't been singled out because of my race.
20. I can easily buy posters, postcards, picture books, greeting cards, dolls, toys, and children's magazine featuring people of my race.
21. I can go home from most meetings of organizations I belong to feeling somewhat tied in, rather than isolated, out-of-place, outnumbered, unheard, held at a distance, or feared.
22. I can take a job with an affirmative action employer without having co-workers on the job suspect that I got it because of race.
23. I can choose public accommodation without fearing that people of my race cannot get in or will be mistreated in the places I have chosen.
24. I can be sure that if I need legal or medical help, my race will not work against me.
25. If my day, week, or year is going badly, I need not ask of each negative episode or situation whether it has racial overtones.
26. I can choose blemish cover or bandages in "flesh" color and have them more or less match my skin.
McIntosh explains many white people do not see themselves as taking advantage of these unearned privileges. Some will argue that our society is built upon meritocracy, where if people work hard enough than they can achieve their goals. But they neglect to recognize that racism is em
Thats an awesome post. It puts so many things into perspective.
Why should we give up anything. Our race built this country and we earned our place here.
Obviously you consider the fact that "your race" is the most oppressive, dangerous, self centered culture on the planet a right and that has "given" you advantages.
A race willing to see people as animals and not people based on the color of their skin. That view justifies enslaving and dehumanizing a whole people group.
A race willing to wipe out over 6 million Jews because they were Jews.
A race willing to drop an atomic bomb on two cities filled with civilians as an illustration of their willingness to create mass destruction to support their cause.
A race so bent on maintaining their political position in America that they would willingly break the law to do so.
A race so blind to what humanity is that they believe just because of their skim tone they are a different race than the rest of the people on the planet. Not recognizing that there is only one race, the human race.
One that could apply to young females: "I can go to virtually any women's clothing store and not have to wonder if the clothes will adhere to my body type."
But there are a few of us men who appreciate older wiser women who are not thin as common 'law' dictates.
Wrong. You get one shot at being young. You choose to be fat or thin.
I would suggest that it might be difficult to address racial subjects like white privilege, advantage or elitism if I were, and it made me feel guilty. No one likes feeling guilty as if it were criminal. And this is why racism continues to be rationalized and shifted to imply that the disadvantages or mistreatment voiced by black people are of their own merit because as insinuated, they are lazy complainers who lack ambition or gratitude that they are not still slaves. Never mind any historic contribution to American society and pop culture.
Often times I am reminded in by the media about how all these white business forefathers worked so hard and gave blood sweat and tears to found all the great companies that make our lives to wonderful today. But what were all those slaves they owned doing at that time? Playing dominoes? Hah... Oh sure there are plenty of wealthy black folks around. And you can be sure just by what your article states, that they had to put in probably three times as much blood sweat and tears to come up three times behind your average white man attempting the same endeavor.
"I can go home from most meetings of organizations I belong to feeling somewhat tied in, rather than isolated, out-of-place, outnumbered, unheard, held at a distance, or feared."

I can't. It's not my skin though, it's the damage I'm carrying.
If anyone is of the misbelief that overt racism is taking place, head over to FetLife, deary me,an alternative community, where you have race role play groups, but mark my words, nothing playful about what is said in such groups.
Number 12 is so true.
If a White person is a bit loud on public transport, it is *just because*, however if a Black, it is *can these Black people..like, shut up for few minutes*.
Not surprised your first comment claims you hate yourself, without actually commenting on this list, all very telling.
I must say, I find nothing worse than when a White person suffers *White guilt*, makes me cringe,and have been known to say..*please...enough already*, however for one to e aware of what you speak of above is not White guilt, more so...awareness...and a lot of it.
I just joined there, and I was noticing I didn't see any people of color in the posted pictures....
I know I was working adjacent to a hotel in which a kinky party was being held all weekend a few years ago.
...And it was entirely African-American swingers.
I suspect the kinky people are very racially self-segregated.
I wouldn't state Fetlife as a source for pretty much ANYTHING... Fetlife is one of the most privilege-only pushed places I've ever seen online: "Kinky & Popular" is for about 95% young, white, thin, beautiful, bi-curious (heterosexually serving the male fantasy), submissive girls. While if you'd visit any real life open kinky event, you'd have to look closely to spot these girls, yes, even at "18 - 30 years old only"-parties I used to attend.
Lots of exclusion going on, it messes up my own BDSM experience, so I left.
Love your fro vibes msalexh;-) thanks fof this, interesting read.
well, it seems to me that the liberal media has taught another European-American person to hate themselves simply for being born into their race. they must be so proud, to hear how you hate your biological blueprint...
While much of what is quoted here is true, much of it has been left behind in our history. As to unearned privilege, it is not unearned just because someone else was disadvantaged. Yes some people of colour are unfairly treated and I whole heartedly agree that systemic racism needs to be tackled by not just the government but by each and every citizen regardless of colour or creed. To that end I do not stand idly by and do nothing when I am witness to it, but as a full time wage earner with both family and community commitments I am not in a position to do much other than be a good example. Some of it is also now reversed depending on where one lives. My children go to a public school and can pretty much be certain that, as white Canadian born children from a European heritage, are not only outnumbered in their clubs, teams and school, but are frequently the only white child among the group. They see and feel discrimination on a daily basis and yet do not return it in kind. The solutions to this long time problem are not easy and will only come when racism is not met with more racism in return. What this posting calls unearned privilege are mostly human rights and no one should be willing to give them up. We should all be willing to try to engender them for those who feel excluded. Bringing one person down to the reality of another does not help anyone. Thank you for posting a thought provoking article.
Very true, Alexh! Very true indeed! I agree. It tends to humor me how a lot of white people like to say that racism is over in this country and that blacks are no longer slaves. True to the last part, but there is still A LOT of racism that goes on in this country.
And what you posted actually goes in toe with something I've been working on myself, proving that in western culture women - particularly white women - have gotten ahead and have more done for them than for any other demographic. The women's lib movement has achieved many of its goals, yet the civil rights movement and even hispanic movements have been little heard and recognized by white society.
Women in this country are still complaining about so much yet have more than "minorities" do (-and when I parenthesize that I mean that minorities are not really the minority: blacks have been undercounted by the census for years but actually outnumber whites, and the government hates for us to know that-). The pay gap for women is still an argument yet "minorities" would love to be able to even make as much as women do. Women will get favor from the legal and justice system regularly, while blacks and hispanics still face racial profiling in the same system. And even in history: women could vote before blacks, could hold better jobs than blacks when women COULD begin working outside the home, and to date there have ever only been 123 black Congress people while there have been 229 women, and only SIX black senators, but 39 women senators. So when women and feminists complain about women still not getting ahead what are they talking about?!?! They've had more opportunities than blacks and other races!
Thank you for sharing that very interesting piece, and one we all know is true even if we don't admit it.
Much of the same goes on in my country, and I'm an American. Black women got duel voting points as blacks were originally given the right to vote shortly after the Civil War and women in general could vote gradually through the 1860s onward, so if a black woman wasn't hindered by the laws and intimidations that the government used to keep blacks from voting, they probably could've voted before black men.
There have been to date 32 black Congresswomen, and to date only one black woman in the Senate. Women of color do suffer, but yet still get more than men of color in some ways: they are less likely to be racially profiled in crime but more likely to be punished harder for theirs than a white woman, can get government aid easier than men of color can, are targetted for violent crime less than men of color, and can still get the privelages of white women if they follow the rules whites set.
Another very troubling thing for me and one I'm also working on for a book is the fact that where women have not wanted to be mistreated and oppressed, they often through history have had no problem contributing to or promoting hate and oppression for other people based on race, culture, and religion. White women along with white men, especially harbored intense hostility and dislike of native Americans because of their hair, dress, and notions that they were diseased and unclean when they were actually healthier and in better condition than the colonists and later the pioneers. White women right along with white men showed extreme disgust, disrespect, and phobia of blacks throughout the slave era and then after throughout the next century of segregation, and just like the white men with female slaves, the white women had no problem sleeping with the male slaves but didn't care about their freedom. The irony here is that white women wanted rights and equality back then, yet didn't mind black slaves not having them, and although there were certainly some white women who opposed slavery and helped free slaves, this was not the norm by far. German women, like German men, had equally intense hatred for the Jews during the Holocaust, and often seemed to be more fiery about it than the men, perhaps because as Aryan birth-givers they took the thought of a despised seed living in the same world with theirs very seriously, and they very much supported their men in fighting for the cause, just as medieval women supported their men in killing Muslims--because of Muslim religion-- to free the Holy Land during the Crusades. You also have Arab or Muslim women who are oppressed and kept from having opportunities, yet hate Jews, dark-skinned people, or Africans living in Middle Eastern nations and want them gone and feel that they're lowly, filthy, and don't deserve a chance even though they want a chance. British queens supported and promoted the slave trade - that included black slave women, and they also didn't care to do much for the average woman either. American First Ladies throughout our history are supposed to represent some motherly image who cares about all people regardless of their status, race, and creed, yet white First Ladies haven't ever cared about representing black, Hispanic, or Asian women. And on and on.
So that's how sexism and racism can be different.
GREAT! Though I am mostly white and other, I look native american but I am not anyway some people see me as white and some people don't so I get a bit of both, but not as rough as you probably have it...anyway I have friends on this site, one in particular, he's multiracial I am going to mail him this story link cuz I think he may really like it, He looks mostly black..anyway great story, this should be published in all CAPS, thanks :)
Cool :)
As a white male, it is very interesting to read this perspective, thank you for sharing. As a collegiate coach who coaches athletes from different cultural backgrounds and ethnicities, it does make sense with the perspective I see from some of my young people. Thank you for sharing.
I'm a black female, and I work in an industry dominated by white males. When we attend a conference, and we are trying to attract people to our table to talk about our product, when I'm with my colleagues, something interesting happens: other whites, whom are 90% of our customers, come to the table very interested, and friendly wanting to sign up, but when I'm at the table by myself, behaving the same exact way as before, a lower percentage of people show interest in my product. Some give me the 'on/off' smile, and keep walking. A few stop and sit showing genuine interest, but most who stop are skeptical, questioning me much more than they do my co-workers. What has changed? It's the same product. I give them the same information. I'm a very friendly, smiley person. It's really ashamed, but I love what I do, so I stick with it. The guys tell me, say this, do that, as if it's me. Lol. They don't see it at all.
Oh, and they should have added to the list, the unlimited shades of beige makeup. The browns are limited, and last time I checked, we have a lot more colors.
Thank you.:) I can see you are too!
I only see racism when if occurs I don't go looking for it, but it has found me. Of course even though my family was in this country first, the new comer engaged in a systematic anilation of our race, thankfully things have improved, at least once you are far enough off the reservations.
Brilliant essay. Everyone should read this and the book you cited.
Im not sure about giving up privlage,But i think its Our duty as human beings to ensure that
ALL enjoy the same privileges regardless of race or gender.Its slow in coming but perhaps
we will one day be a brother hood of man as God intended!
This is excellent. It should explain why, at least in the U.S., anyway, there's never been a need for a formal NAAWP, UWCF, etc.
Unless you were Jewish---quotas on how many allowed into state universities, "no Jews" signs on apartment buildings, "restricted" clubs, etc.
Which is why the JFNA (which includes the ADL,B'nai Brith, etc.) does exist.
Incidentally, the NAACP has always had Jewish members, too. Albert Einstein was a member.
Mostly true, my only quibble might be that in some cases (historically at least) some of the points apply not so much to privilege as demographics---any race that represents the vast majority of a population will almost always find itself represented in advertising, jobs, art, music, etc. But as demographics change, I'd hope so would representation.
Good question. Either prejudice or for some reason whites are the target audience.
This story needs a +1000000 rating to represent it's value. A real eye opener.

Grand Jury Could Get Michael Brown Case Tomorrow
Tuesday, August 19, 2014
(Ferguson, MO) -- A Missouri grand jury could begin hearing evidence tomorrow in the case of an unarmed teen shot dead by police in a St. Louis suburb. The grand jury will decide if there's enough evidence to move forward with charges against officer Darren Wilson. Eighteen-year-old Michael Brown was unarmed when he was shot at least six times and witnesses say he had his hands in the air. Police however, say Wilson fired the shots during a struggle for the officer's weapon.

Jabra announced a slew of new products here at CES 2011, and three of them are made with the PC in mind.
First is the Jabra EasyGo for the PC. Announced less than a month ago for the beginner headset market, the EasyGo is now Skype-certified to be used with the computer. It comes with a handy USB adapter and will automatically connect to the headset. The EasyGo is slim with simple controls, and it promises the usual DSP noise-canceling technology. The Jabra EasyGo also has multipoint, so you can connect to your phone and your PC at the same time.
Next is the Jabra Chill, which is one of a few Jabra products that is not cordless. The wired pair of headphones is designed to be used with both phones and VoIP calls, as it has a microphone and music player controls.
Last but not least is the Jabra Speak410, a USB-powered speakerphone that can be used with Skype. You can use it for voice conferencing or music playback.

High Quality AA and AF
In our High Quality tests we bump the Antialiasing (AA) and Anisotropic Filtering (AF) up causing the card(s) to be put under more load.
Like our non HQ tests we see no changes across the board.
Again we see that there is no change in our HDR tests.
Leaving with PREY we see again that there are no performance gains across the board.
